Bell of Peace and Friendship Among Nations, Peace monument in Citadel Park, Poznań, Poland.
The Bell of Peace and Friendship Among Nations rises 16 meters high with a metal structure supporting an 850-kilogram bell suspended 10 meters above ground.
Installed in 1986, the bell stands on Winiary Hill, where Fort Winiary served as a military stronghold during World War II and the last German defense point.
The bell rings on Liberation Day, February 23rd, marking the German capitulation at the fort and representing international cooperation through its embossed dove design.
Visitors can reach the bell by walking 2 kilometers from Poznań's Rynek or taking buses 174, 176, 190, or 603 from Wielka station to Garbary.
The sound of this monumental bell carries across Poznań for up to 10 kilometers, making it an auditory landmark throughout the surrounding neighborhoods.
